Attention! Royal Marines strip off for Charity fundraising calendar

Well that's one way to raise money! 40 lovely chaps from the Royal Marines base camp in Somerset have stripped off to create a steamy charity calendar that will definitely be a hit with the ladies.

The Go Commando calendar was created to raise money for an armed forces' charity just before the chaps were posted to Afghanistan. Incredibly, they did everything themselves; from directing and styling *ahem* the shots and taking the pictures.

Once the shots were completed, the unit had to send the photos from Afghanistan to England to get them approved by those high up in the Royal Navy.

Although none of the Marines pictured can be named for 'operational reasons' we think they all deserve an applause for their charitable contribution (and those abs, seriously!).
